Sleep was a disaster. LO woke up at 1:30 when the Motrin wore off and then didn't want to be alone. Wouldn't get back in his bed. So we slept (and I use that term very, very loosely) in the chair in his room until 5 when I told DH it was his turn. And then we were up at 7. Nothing in the plans for today. Resting and watching movies.
Back to work today after having 9 days off to move!!!!! So I am kinda wishing I was home and not here but then again I need a break from that mess...DH took LO to my parents house so he could help his mom move... I am off the next 2 days and trying to get someone to work for me on Tuesday!
I am going to try and get caught up on the last week threads.. I will post some pictures later...
I'm finishing up my giant room redo- I moved five bookcase, two desks, a couch, my dining room table, a tv and a computer by myself during LO's nap yesterday. I am soooooorrrre. My H is at work so I'm hoping to finish the rest while he's out of my hair. The kids are actually super excited about how it came out and all want to help me organize today. I will AW later.
Feeling a little better today. I think getting a lot of rest yesterday helped. Dh really stepped up and took over with lo and all the house stuff (he even washed cloth diapers! Laundry is not his strong suit lol.) Not much planned here today. Just laying low and watching the Olympics.
littlelion have fun at the bookstore. Lo's been hitting a lot again, too. I think we'll be checking out some hitting books when we go to the library next week. laceysbryan I was wondering how last night went for you. Poor guy! How's he doing this morning? babyw15 how's the new house coming along? ourcrazynavylife good luck getting more rooms done. kcrus you are awesome! It's great when you move a bunch of stuff and you're happy with the result. Glad the kids are helping. DH is going to move his computer to the basement so lo can have the whole run of the upstairs loft. I'm excited for him to have his own space.

ashlantic the woman didn't order the dino book. She had 1 book and waiting for another. The 1 book only had 1 page on not hitting. She said I didn't ask to order the dino book. Um, that's the book I came in looking for, duh. I'll prob do the library too.
But I did buy this for my 2 cousins who are expecting.
littlelion those are cute!! Love Out of Print. Lo had the Caterpillar onesie, plus a Where the Wild Things Are and Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. Sorry they didn't order your book, that's annoying.
ashlantic, it looks like a tornado hit my house... there is so much still in boxes even though I have unpacked so many of them..... it will come together soon...

ashlantic He was okay today. Pretty pathetic sometimes though when the Motrin was wearing off. He took an almost 3 hour nap (!!!) this afternoon and was sooo miserable when he woke up. Definitely going to sneak in his room at 9 or 10 and give him some Motrin so he doesn't wake up at 1am again. Hope you had a restful day and are feeling even better tonight!

ourcrazynavylife Hope YH got his act together! babyw15 First day back to work in 9 days?! Jealous of your time off, but I know how hectic it feels going back. Hope it wasn't too bad today! kcrus Glad your kiddos were wanting to help you organize and that YH was out of your hair. How are things on that front? Been thinking of you guys. littlelion Looooooove that Curious George! Idk why but I think evey baby needs light yellow clothes. LO had a light yellow onesie that he wore all the damn time because I loved it so much. Was very sad when he outgrew it.

AFM - I was tired today, but I did manage to get out and go run while LO was napping. We had a "cool front" come through, so it was only 85 and felt like 91. Yeah, it still sucked. LO is stuck eating mushy food since his teeth are jacked, so DH and I decided to wait to eat dinner until after he went to sleep so he wouldn't get jealous. So, I read to LO and put him down and came out ready to talk dinner aaaaaand DH went on a run. Seriously, guy? I'm starving. Better not be a long run!

Also, wah wah wah selfish vent - I'm so glad DH is sober. It saved our marriage without a doubt. We don't keep booze in the house and I don't drink if it's just me and him unless we're out on a date night or on vacation. Buuuuuut this weekend has been such a shit show I would love to have like two glasses of wine tonight. I won't, but I wish I could.
laceysbryan hugs. You've had a hell of a weekend. Even though you can't have a glass of wine, I hope you can take some you time and unwind. Sounds like you little guy is being a trooper. ourcrazynavylife I love it!! Looks great.
Feeling a little bit better. But I've been totally having a pity party for myself. It's so selfish, but I was looking forward to this for so long, especially because it was so hard to get away for even an afternoon when I was bfing. Instead this weekend feels just like the rest of the week, with a side of germs thrown in. And then I feel like an asshole for wanting a weekend away from my toddler. Sigh...

DO NOT feel like an asshole. Mom life is hard. I just had to bail on my friend this evening because my 8 year old is sick. And I'm super upset. We deserve fun too.

This. I was also really bummed I missed my dinner date with my friend on Friday because LO's accident happened literally less than 10 min before I was supposed to leave. And then I felt like a jerk because I'm not the one with a tooth jammed back up into my head. Hugs all around!
So I switched with my co-worker and worked today so I can have all of next weekend off....DH has a doctors appointment on Tuesday that I am going to with him... I ran into his doctor yesterday at work and he told me that DH has severe sleep apnea (it wasn't a hippa violation because DH gave consent), he knew it was bad when the oxygen company called him to come get the CPAP machine...so we will find out just how many times he stops breathing at night...so scary...he used to snore soooooo bad and since he has had the machine he doesn't make a sound...the first night of him wearing it I was checking his pulses to make sure he was alive...I hope this makes him feel better though... DH and LO are home today...I should have left a honey do list with him, I guess I can just text him...lol LO was so naughty last night...he climbs up the back of the couch onto the kitchen counter...so DH and I both tried to correct him and he started telling us "no,no,no" (while shaking his finger at us).... I couldn't help but laugh because it was so darn cute...I am going to be a horrible parent in the discipline area.... Ok I am going to try and keep myself busy...maybe get caught up on OITNB on Netflix...

Good morning all. I'm up and once again my house is fast asleep.
I was being crushed between DH and our cat. She apparently figured out I was growing a human and insists on sleeping on me now. Lol. She hasn't slept with me since I was KU with Em.
Last night was exhausting. My H and I had this long, emotional talk. Long story short- being married a long time with children is hard AF. Sounds obvious but ladies, I'm here to tell you, it's probably the hardest thing in the world.
I figured out the other day that by the time LO graduates high school, I will have been raising children for THIRTY-TWO years. That's a long ass time. I try not to think about it, because it makes me sooooo tired. I adore my kids and they have been my whole life. I think I have to figure out how to fit some of me into my life- sounds silly, but I suck at self care and it's taking a toll. My H is working really hard on himself and I'm working really hard on trying to be patient. Fingers crossed hard work is enough!
Sorry that was long! TL, DR: I wish Starbucks delivered today and being an adult is hard. Waa was poor first world me.
ourcrazynavylife Holy head bands Batman! What did you use to make that? We don't have nearly as many but I'm never sure of how to organize them. ashlantic Sorry you're not feeling well and had to cancel your plans kcrus I don't know how you juggle so much at once! Glad you and DH are having good talks, hopefully you get some time for you too.
Just playing catch up as I haven't been around much. My brother has left his wife, neither of them are handling it well, I'm stuck in the middle and it's been super stressful Here are some recent pics of F to brighten the mood! On the ferry with Daddy
littlelion, love those ears! laceysbryan, how is your LO's mouth. That has to suck for everybody. Hope you get a good dentist report. DH had knocked out his teeth several times before his adult teeth came it. MIL said she spent one night holding his baby teeth in. He has all his own teeth and they look great! ourcrazynavylife, love Em's room, so cute! kcrus, I think about that sometimes too. I was just trying to tell my husband I have spent/will spend almost 2 years pregnant and 3 years nursing. Its overwhelming at times. ashlantic, I hope you are feeling better. You shouldn't feel guilty at all, mom's need and deserve time for themselves. megpie5, I love F's curls! So sweet!
